A century after Einstein's mathematics suggested the possibility of black holes, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) is finally observing them. The project's latest achievement is the first image of the supermassive black hole in the center of our Milky Way galaxy. Join Brian Greene and the EHT's Founding Director Shep Doeleman to explore these stunning breakthroughs that are taking us ever closer to seeing the unseeable. This program is part of the Big Ideas series, supported by the John Templeton Foundation.
